The next morning when he opens his eyes, the first person in front of his eyes is Su Ci. Ru Shuang examines him and says he's all better. At night while Pei Zhao is still recovering, he dreams about war and spits out blood. He kneels down to put on her boots for her. He keeps this to himself and continues to prioritize Su Ci. This guy has the perfect face to be the calm and gentle type. She cries that she tried so hard to keep her female identity a secret but it’s all exposed. He lets Fei Yuan make his dramatic appeal and then finally reveals Su Ci’s female identity. He was set on committing suicide to make his master walk on the “right” path again. She’s shaken but continues to tend to Su Ci.įei Yuan is in denial that his master can love Su Ci. He gets Dong Ru Shuang (who’s an expert in examining corpses and the living) to treat her. Su Ci is unconscious in wedding clothes and that’s how he brought her back to his home. He rushes to the scene to save Su Ci in time. Twelve hours isn’t up but he removes his eye mask. He uses hypnosis to make his victims commit suicide. He needs exactly 12 hours for the treatment otherwise he might lose his vision completely.īack to the case: the murderer is the painter. He wants to be able to admire the night sceneries with Su Ci. These two look equally handsome and equally beautiful in this scene. They share a romantic moment and he goes in for a kiss but firework sounds interrupt them. Just when he thought she was rejecting him, she pulls down her mask for him to see her clearly. He wants her to believe in him and depend on him. He takes her hand in his and asks her if there’s anything dangerous she needs to do to let him know first. He says he begged Prince Qi for this by telling him it's for the girl he loves. Su Ci asks him how he managed to reserve this area. He comments it’s the second time he's seen her dance.
Pei Zhao reserved an entire lake area during the busy Autumn Festival for Su Ci to comfortably dance in her female clothes. Pei Zhao replies, “What a coincidence, I won’t marry someone I don’t love either.” Before Pei Zhao leaves he asks her whether she’ll marry someone she doesn’t love. Su Ci blinks in surprise, she thought he was having arranged dates. He tells her he’s been busy at Qi manor the entire day. Dong Ru Shuang asks her what’s wrong and she lies that her stomach is hurting but Dong Ru Shuang notes that she’s clutching her heart.Īt night, Pei Zhao visits Su Ci after hearing she was sick. When Su Ci sees Pei Zhao friendly with this lady (Xu Zhi), there’s a sudden pain in her chest. Xu Zhi is one of the maidens on the list of hopefuls who can marry Prince Qi. Fei Yuan who loves his master becomes extremely worried when he finds out his master is secretly admiring a portrait of Su Ci as a girl. Meanwhile Fei Yuan writes his own name and his master's on this love plate. Pei Zhao stares at the lock and muses that their fate did begin with a lock (a handcuff to be exact).Īt the temple, Dong Ru Shuang continues to wish for her romance with Su Ci to bloom but Xie Bei Ming secretly ruins all of it. Ah, this guy is just trying to sell his lock. He then offers them a love lock that will bind their love to each other forever. The fortune teller knows Su Ci is a girl. In other words they’re perfect for each other. They’re both lonely stars not meant for anyone but if they pair up, they’ll repel any curse. He continues to read both their fortunes noting how similar they are. It’s Pei Zhao who is offended and tells the man to shaddap. These two are a perfect match even in their senses, they just don't know it yet.Ī fortune-teller reads Su Ci’s future that she is a curse to others and will be solo her entire life.
Instead, he's developed a strong sense of smell. He can see, but when it comes to nighttime, his vision is majorly impaired. During one of his battles, his eyes were poisoned. While she has high vision acuity, Pei Zhao has difficulties with his own vision. I'd never be able to eat anything if I had her eye sight then, lol. She has an abnormally keen eyesight that can see dirt in high definition. That night, he roasted meat for her but she found it dirty. He had to give up his military powers because the ministers supporting the Emperor feared his powers. In fact, he's Prince Qi, the older brother of the Emperor. From her observation, she notes that he must have fought in war before.
After experiencing life and death together, these two become friendlier. Embarrassed, she tells him to focus but soon it's her turn to stare at him. With her hair close to him, he finds her scent distracting.
Pei Zhao takes Su Ci's hairpin, letting her hair fall down.
